STATE LEGISLATURE.

The thirty eighth session and second
biennial session of the Wisconsin leg.
islature began at noon on Wednesday
last. There was quite d full attend
ance on the roll call in the Senate and
Assembly. Both houses having decid.
ed Republican majorities, the caucus
nominations were agreed to without
delay. The Governors message was
probably delivered yesterday Thurs
day..
Thomas B. Mills, of Jackson county,
was chosen Speaker of the Assembly.
He is known as the young mems can,
didate, and was educated at McMynn's
academy, of Racine. His legislative
experience is probably less than that
of any member who has heretofore oc.
cupied the speakers chair. He has
been chairman of town board and
has served one term in the legislature.
The office of Speaker is a difficult one,
and supposed to require experience in
order to the dispatch of business 1t
is predicted that Mr.. Mills will make
up in other qualities what he lacks in
experience.
E. ID. Coe, editor Of the Whitewater
Register. was elected chief clerk of the
Assembly, position for which he is
well qualified, having had much ex-
perience in that office
w. S. Maxwell, Senator from this
district, has the position of chairman
of the committee on agriculture. w.
w. Baker, of this city, has the appoint
ment of assistant sergeant alarms in
the Senate.

The high price of coal has been a
general cause of complaint throughout
the country, 1t has been attributed
to the monopoly of the wholesale deal
els and the controllers Of the coal
mines There is doubtless some force
in this; but whatever may be the cause
of the scarcity of coal, business men
are casting about for coal supplies
nearer home Indications have been
found of probable supply of coal in
the vicinity of Kaukauna, in this state,
and a company has been formed with
capital of $50 900 for prospecting
and making a thorough examination.
Every citizen of the state will wish
well to the enterprise.

any one thinking their conduct in the
slightest degree offensive. People sat
down to heavy dinners at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon and when was fixed a the

it required long struggle to bring about
this change. and still more severe fight
before huge supper> and much punch
ceased to be strict social observances. In
one famous university there was nine

eligible for admission until he had drunk
nine glasses of hot whisky and water,
and could then say Biblical criticism"
with reasonably clear articulation.
Even Lord Campbell. though opposed TO
= the habtual soaking of port wine or
whisky punch" expresses himself in his
autobiography favorably toward "an oc-
casonal booze" as having "a tendency
to excite the faculties, 10 warm the a1fec-

the character of youth" Toasts were
still drunk at table: men took wine
with the ladies " and = challenged" each
other in manner highly conducive to
excess and the gout.
The memoirs of the early part of the
